ECOLOGICAL VEGETATION CLASS PROFILE: 311 BERM GRASSY SHRUBLAND Structure: Environment: Pre-1750 distribution: Present distribution: Peninsula status: Bioregional status: Nearest relative: Adjacent EVCs: Typical site: Notes: Shrubland to 2 metres Deep sand on beaches partially protected from wind Scattered on sandy beaches of the Mornington Peninsula, mainly in relatively sheltered locations Scattered and uncommon, most stands are small (major occurrence on Mud Islands) Endangered Endangered None Coastal Dune Scrub, Coastal Headland Scrub Mount Eliza to Mount Martha Foreshore Distinguished by dominant Coast Saltbush Atriplex cinerea General notes: (1) This profile is generalised with only the major species listed; individual sites may differ in composition due to site characteristics (geology, aspect, rainfall, drainage) and site history; look at the composition of adjacent vegetation to fine tune the species list for your site. (2) Heights for trees are in metres, other plants in centimetres. (3) Availability from nurseries is for species, not necessarily for your soil-type genetic provenance within the species; plants should be sourced from same soil type / geology for genetic conservation and best growth; contact your local indigenous nursery and ask them to collect seed from local sites or ensure that plants are local provenance. (4) Planting of locally sourced indigenous species appropriate for the EVC should be undertaken where remnant indigenous vegetation is absent or where carefully applied bush regeneration techniques have failed to stimulate adequate recruitment of new indigenous plants within remnant indigenous vegetation; managing for natural regeneration preserves the ecological integrity of native vegetation rather than turning it into a plantation.
